As we close the books on 2010, I give thanks for all that we have been blessed with in this life. We'll usher in 2011 the same way we did 2010, at the beach with our dear friends the Frios. The only difference...10 inches of snow on the ground in Rehoboth Beach, DE. The dogs, Midnight and Cookie, had an added treat to their New Years Eve walk on the beach...snow...those two were in heaven.
Time moves way too fast...seems like we were just here celebrating last December 31st. As I take some time to reflect on 2010, I realize just how blessed we are as a family. Jaye finished a great year at her company Snyder Cohen, a local DC accounting firm, with a move to new office space just before Thanksgiving. Jaye was the lead on this project and WOW, what a job she did. We did a family visit, off hours, over Thanksgiving weekend, and I have to say, it was amazing. Her hard work on this project earned her "Employee of the Year." I am so proud of my wife, my "better half," she does it all...Mom, Wife, Professional...I love this woman.
Time moving way too fast? Yes, we got a real does of that this year. Erin of to college, Luke getting taller than both Jaye and I, and Samaria not far behind, 8 going on 18. I already posted the accomplishments of these three wonderful children, so I won't rehash. But, what I will say, is that what makes proud of these three is not their accomplishments, but the truly wonderful young people they have become. Loving, caring, smart, I could go on forever.
Frank and Vida, thanks for all your support and love. You are the greatest parents, and as the kids would tell the world, the greatest Grandparents!!! We love you!!!
I can't close out this post without mentioning our friends. We are blessed with the best friends in the world. The Frios...you tried to move away...but we didn't let you escape. Thanks for being there for us..we love you guys!!! The Conleys..we don't see you all as much as we would like, but we always know we are there for each other. The Macks...We love you guys...it was great spending the Holidays with you guys!!!
As we leave 2010 and enter 2011, we wish all those in our lives...A Very Happy New Year!!!

Christmas 2010 News
Going green for the 2010 Dellorso Family Christmas Letter!!
2010 was good year for the Dellorso Brood. I'll start out with a recap of the year for each of the children.
What a big year for Erin, she started the year as a senior at Broadneck HS, and ends it as freshman at the University of San Diego. In between there were many exciting times. Prom, Graduation with Honors, last high school soccer game as captain of the team, all too much for a father's weak heart. Especially when his baby girl is going to college 3,000 miles away. She had a part in the Broadneck School production of "Fame." She carried that creative talent into San Diego and was the only freshman to earn a part in the University production of " Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." If you weren't sure, yes, she is a theater major at USD. No surprises, she is loving San Diego and doing very well in school. She was home for a few days at Thanksgiving, and we are happy to have her home for almost a month over the Holiday break.
Luke started the year engrossed in soccer and ended the year the same way. He began 2010 by earning a spot on the Maryland Olympic Development Team, and mid year added to that by being selected as a member of the Region 1 Olympic Development Pool. Region 1 is made up of all the states north of NC and east of PA and WV. In between, we attended many games for his travel and high school teams. More importantly, he has maintained his high level of academic achievement. Earning straight A's freshman year and first semester of his Sophomore year.
Not to be outdone by her older siblings, Samaria had a banner 2010. As she completed 2nd grade, she tested into the Advanced Academic Program (formerly gifted and talented) for 3rd grade and has a great fall semester in AAP. She earned a spot on the Braddock Road Youth Club U9 girls soccer team. Her team had a stellar fall season and she loves her team and the competition. We are all excited about her latest endeavour, a part in the Aldersgate Community Children's Theater production of "Bugsy Malone Jr." This is her first play and while rehearsals are frequent and long she is loving it!!! We hope anyone who lives in the area, will come see the production.
